FWCI compares papers with the same publication year, type, and field. 1.0 is the world average; above 1.0 is above expectation. This journal's median is 1.33, so its typical recent paper runs about 33% above its field benchmark.
21.4% of recent papers rank in the global top 10% after field normalization. This is easier to compare across specialties than raw citation totals.
Volume is separated from citation accumulation so newer papers are not presented as weaker simply because they are newer.

Source: the current OpenAlex source record. OpenAlex works can include multiple work types. Fully Open Access is a source-level flag. Recent OA Works is summed from OpenAlex's counts_by_year series (up to the latest ten years); it is not a lifetime OA percentage. Any APC shown here is an indicative OpenAlex value—verify current charges on the journal's official website.
Biology of Reproduction's 2026 Journal Metrics Score is 2.7, from the August 2026 data release. The score is a two-year citation average computed from OpenAlex (CC0) data: citations received in the most recent complete year to works published in the two prior years, divided by the number of those works.
Biology of Reproduction's best quartile is Q1. By OpenAlex subfield: Q1 in Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health; Q1 in Reproductive Medicine; Q1 in Agronomy and Crop Science; Q3 in Immunology. Quartiles rank journals by Journal Metrics Score within each subfield.
No. Journal Metrics computes the score independently from OpenAlex open data. Other providers use different citation databases, document types, and counting rules, so their published figures for Biology of Reproduction will not match this score exactly. Compare journals using one source at a time.
Across 98 recent PubMed records with both dates, Biology of Reproduction took a median of 127 days from submission to acceptance; the middle half took 91–203 days. This interval includes editorial handling and revisions, so it is not the time to a first decision.
OpenAlex lists an indicative article processing charge of $4,217 USD for Biology of Reproduction. This journal-level estimate may exclude taxes, waivers, discounts, or article-type fees, so confirm the current charge on the journal's website.
